Carly's plane has to make an emergency landing, and then her friend Omar takes her away on his boat. Chappell explains that Omar is "an old friend" of Carly's, and Carly asks him to sail her to Salem. While Carly is on the boat, she remembers what led to Lawrence's murder. Chappell says that Carly and Lawrence had a big argument, and Carly tried to leave but Lawrence wouldn't let her. "So, she was trying to get out from under his control."

Carly and Omar's boat passes Rafe's body floating in the water. Chappell explains that Omar says that they shouldn't take Rafe on the boat, since Omar "knows who this guy is, and people are trying to come after Carly", but Carly tells Omar that they must help him. They pull Rafe out of the water, and he is hypothermic and has cuts on his head.

However, Rafe regains consciousness when someone on the boat threatens Carly's life. Chappell says, "After what she did to Lawrence, there are people all over the place trying to get to her." The man on the boat points a gun at her and tries to kill her, but Rafe jumps up and knocks the gun out of the man's hand. Then, Rafe collapses again...

And seriously? How contrived and ridiculous a plot point can this be? Don't get me wrong...I'm happy enough that this is taking Rafe even further out of the baby switch storyline...but SuperRafe and his conveniently timed heroics are a joke.

I don't think this is pulling Rafe farther out of the babyswitch storyline at all. He will right back in the thick of it when he returns to Salem. He has all the info to tell Sami about Sydney. Time is going so slowly in Salem right now, that 5 or 6 days in our time are like 1 in theirs, so Rafe hasn't been in the water long, it just seems like a long time b/c they are dragging their feet with this.

I see it more as a possible intersectionality of storylines if Chad is the kid Carly is coming back to find and if Bo was the father Chad would be a Kiriakis grandson a lot of potential drama if they go there.......what this may mean though is the set up for the next storline Rafe will be involved in - really interested in finding out how Omar knows him! This will be linked to Rafe's backstory no doubt.

We'll see. I believe Rafe will end up recuperating at his sis's house...and during that time Sami is still interacting with EJ, Sydney and Nicole based on the script that Ali tweeted a picture of - that is scheduled to air at the end of this month.

In addition, we know that Chad has scenes with Justin, presumably representing him as his lawyer in a custody case over Sydney.

So...when it would seem that Rafe won't be making any big revelations as soon as he hits Salem...and not for at least the next several weeks.

ITA agree there won't be much from Rafe when he's returned to Arianna but Ali's recent tweets show she's been running lines with GG an has been having lunch with him AZ an JS almost daily so there's a lot of interaction at some point up ahead.

Exactly. I suspect we won't see those scenes until mid-November or so - likely during Sweeps. Who knows where the story will be at that point or who will be revealing what to whom. I think the fact that Rafe learned what he did as early as he did was a red herring for the audience at that time - just another opportunity for people to feel like the truth was just about to come out - and then he's removed from the story for the next several weeks.

Well we don't know yet if he is 'out of the storyline' or operating under the radar because he knows that Stephano brought Meredith to town and will also assume that he put him up to his kidnapping and attempted murder. We may find Arianna tasked with trying to get the items needed to test Sami, Grace, Nicole and Sydney's DNA as we know that Rafe knows everything in theory but needs the evidence to verify if he's supicions are accurate.

I think that Rafe has everything figured out for a reason that will come into play later - everyone else in the storyline is starting to catch up with bits of the truth but at the moment Stephano, Nicole, Rafe and the not-so-dead Dr Baker are the only ones who know the whole story.
